Legion World Forums LEGION OUTPOST Mission Monitor Board Every 10 Years Forum Wearing costumes at conventions

Many people on this list are active drawing or coloring artwork for various characters, mostly legion or their own personna. Do any members actual wear costumes at any conventions and if so what? Have you ever worn a LSH costume or your own character costume?

I attend a convention called Dragoncon every year and there are literally thousands of people there in costumes ranging from Superman, Batman, Wonder Woman, Supergirl, Powergirl, to Tolkien characters such as elves, fairies and so forth, plus various movie characters and anime characters. However, the closest I've ever seen to LSH has been Supergirl.

Due to my gender and body shape, I could most get away with Bouncing Boy's costume. If you did wear a costume at a convention, who would you most likely dress up as?

Some sample pictures I took at the last Dragoncon are available at: http://www.ofoto.com/I.jsp?c=16bvg85f.bwd26tyv&x=0&y=4hju63

I'd have to go with Bouncing Boy too.

Chameleon Boy would be a cool costume

i'd have to go as ULTRA BOY of course

Matthew.

I think I'd make a great Invisible Kid. I could possibly get away with Ultra Boy. But I'd prefer to meet Matthew above dressed as Ultra Boy with me dressed as Lyle.

well, I'd rather see someone wearing Cos's old Grell costume

If a Ultra Boy t-shirt comes out (the dragon symbol) I'm all over it. I'd have to go as Ultra Boy as well.

Pariscub if you want to see someone in Cos' old costume...you may have to hire them cause few ppl can pull it off. Imagine love handles on that costume...it would ruin it forever.

I'd probably have to go as one of the Five Year Gap Legionnaires. Older, out of shape... I'll stick with my Dark Phoenix shirt a friend made for me.

I go to Dragon*Con annually as well, and there's no other con that can top it in terms of costumes.

I can barely dress up as myself, though, so I've never braved an actual costume.

Well, I dress in my Grimbor costume as much as possible when I have a partner dressed like Charma! (And NO Pov and Darden, that doesn't mean I want you to dress as Charma )

Should I ask how one gets a barnyard animal into a bikini?

No, probably not.

Paris- You'd make a keen Evillo - and wouldn't even need to shave!

Iv'e lost 20 pounds since November. If I can lose another 20 or more, I'd go as my namesake. If not, I'd go as TMK Thom - a little out of shape, but not too far gone (and I could keep my beard!)

I really would have to go as Chuck also although it's getting to the point where I'm looking more like RJ (with less hair )

About seven or eight years ago (gosh, I can't believe it's been that long!), I was the Levitz-era Star Boy in Chicago.



A friend of mine was friends with Tom McCraw, who hooked me up with a group of reboot Legionnaires who did a big gathering at the DC booth. It was quite the experience.

When I get home, I'll post other costumes I've worn. This one is in my profile, so I could get the URL easily. I'll have to upload the others. I've done Aquaman and Dr. Fate (the same guy who organized the Legion invited me back for his Silver Age JLA and JSA groupings).

This year, I'm trying to get back in costume shape for San Diego (another budding Chuck here), and if I do it, I'm going to have a Color Kid costume made as a reward to myself.

Risas, you'd make a decent RJ, too, if you don't mind me saying.

Add me up to the Legion of "Could Only be Bouncing Boy"

But then, Bouncing Boy was the Legion's one and only King. He rocks!


Does anyone else find it odd that Saturn Girl's costume has a detachable symbol? I suppose it makes sense, she can go from uniform to dressed for casual in just a second! I bet the guys wish they were as clever!

And here's the whole Legion gang from that year. That's one of the creators on the end, but I forget who.



Here's Aquaman. (I bleached my hair -- eek!)



And the rest of the JLA:



And me as Dr. Fate:



I don't know where the gang picture is.

I hope this inspires you to try a costume at the next con. It's fun!

Great stuff, Seymour!

I'm jealous - not only do you guys to excellent characters, but you have a large enough group to make a team impression!

Those are awesome, Seymour!!

That's hilarious that someone went as the 60s Red Tornado! I love it!!

And the Atom action figure! Gotta love it!

well not at a convention but this is what I did at my daughters 18th Birthday party.

I think she has just about forgiven me.

That's awesome Darden! Your daughter may one day forgive you, but she'll never forget...

You've been working out, Far!

If you want to come do that at my 35th birthday next year, you're more than welcome!

And who, duisguised as mild-mannered Darden, fights a never-ending battle for truth, justice and the Am- uh, the Geordie way!
